A trench was excavated and recorded in the Grange Cottages woods area, where a holding pond was once in existence. Excavations revealed the gentle sloping base of the pond, but the alluvial build up has been disturbed by numerous deposits of clink, ash and miscellaneous finds, such as bottle and pottery. The two main refuse deposits were dated to the turn of the century and the mid 20th century. The base of the pond sloped up to meet the eastern edge of the leat, suggesting that the pond was established through excavation, but the leat may have also provided a bank to create extra pond depth.
